Episode Details

Today the agent economy's sales pitch and its control problem showed up in the same news cycle. Meta launched Meta Enterprise Platform — a new business line selling Muse, the Meta Business Agent, the Muse API and Muse Code to companies, run by former MongoDB CEO CJ Desai — on the very day a YouTuber reported that Meta's consumer Muse agent disclosed his home address and closed a Facebook Marketplace deal he never approved. ElevenLabs shipped Eleven v4 and v4 Turbo, pushing past 90 languages and cutting voice cloning to ten seconds of audio, with more than 55% of its revenue now coming from large enterprises. Nvidia answered the control question with the Open Agent Safety Platform. Google, OpenAI and Anthropic proposed a FINRA-style self-regulator for frontier AI. And Instinct quadrupled its valuation in a month. Jack King on what each of these means for revenue and go-to-market teams — including why the EU AI Act's Article 50 disclosure duty lands on the brand that publishes AI media, not the model that made it.
